Blue - I Love You #1

Hey Blue, here is a post for you ...
Below you'll see a kit
My October counterfeit
There is your hop from meeeeee ...

Apologies to Joni Mitchell :o)
But with a beautiful kit-to-copy containing lots of lovely blue papers, patterns and alphas, from newcomer to the kit-club scene, Gossamer Blue, this song has been playing over and over in my head!

Welcome to the October Blog Hop from the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Master Forgers. Hopefully you popped over from Crystal,
but if not, the hop started here, where there's a full list of
participants so that you don't miss any inspiration.

Lots of chevrons this month (there are even more if you count the reverse sides of the papers), but seeing as my bargain bin stash isn't really on trend and I'm not supposed to be spending money on these kits, I had to improvise as usual:

A selection of buttons and wooden stars
Ticket strips in yellow and orange
Chipboard curved frames and a Sizzlit bracket shaped die for making my own shapes
Heavy duty metal brads
Teal twine
Various ribbons
Papermania chevron washi tape (this featured last month too ... those rolls are BIG)
Lots of journalling cards - from Smash pads and Studio Calico Documentary as well as some left-over Project 365 hybrid cards I printed a long while ago. I went looking for the link ... and found some even better ones from Persnickety Prints (with chevrons)!
Elle's Studio Bright Pennants
Thickers Regards, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type and MLS Mini alphas

The next Master Forger to share her take on the monthly kit is Lisa so please hop over there to see what she's been up to this month.

Your kit looks like a lot of fun!!! I think one of the loveliest things about the Counterfeit Kits is not spending any money. (and my BFF who used to check my receipt totals when we shopped for scrapbook supplies may not recognize me any more. LOL!) Love what you've created here!
